Stats
- Carrion mixed with Dire and Soldier trinkets is recommended. Alternatively, full dire works too. You do not need any crit chance for this build as your main source of damage comes from the constant chills that you can apply without any crit chance.
Sigils Staff
Scepter/Dagger
Usage
- Stagger the chills you apply via your skills and utilities and shrouds so that the enemy is constantly chilled. Chill does not stack in intensity but in duration. So do not spam all your chill skills at one go.
- No natural counter to this build apart from Diamond Skin Elementalist/Tempest. But that is why we have Carrion for Power which gives you a small chance against them.
- Chills can be reapplied constantly which makes condi clearance of minimal use against you.
- Great synergy between the traits for shouts and signets, giving you low cooldown shouts that all applies chills, even your healing due to Grenth runes.
- Decent boon corruption from your signets
- Good condi transfers against opponents with Dagger 4, Staff 4 and Plague signet
- Decent Vulnerability and Might stacking
- Decent Lifeforce generation with Chilling Victory trait as your opponent is almost always chilled.

Disadvantages
- Your chances against a good Diamond Skin ele is very low, not impossible, but very low.
- You laugh to yourself every night about how easy fights have now become.
- Imagine your opponents fighting you in slow motion through the fight!
- You lose interest in roaming because you feel like you're already at the pinnacle. The Apex Predator at the top of the food chain. Even though in all honesty, it was the build carrying you, and not your skills.
Strong build for 1v1 situations- falls off against strong damage and CC and lacks some focus in build direction.
